Preparation and electrochemical characterization of conical and hemispherical ultramicroelectrodes
Abstract
We describe a new ultramicroelectrode fabrication technique that has allowed the preparation of conical Pt-Ir ultramicroelectrodes with radii of 0.5-10 µm. These electrodes have been characterized by scanning electron microscopy, cyclic voltammetry, and chronoamperometry. The smallest radii electrodes (r < 2 µm) exhibited dlffusional behavior at times longer than 70 µs in accord with a hemispherical geometry, while larger radii electrodes exhibited dlffusional behavior consistent with a conical geometry. A first-order mathematical approach to diffusion at conical surfaces has been developed to explain these results
